13:30 TRIUMPH HURDLE
Mr Adjudicator did his best work at the end when winning his
last start at Leopardstown and this can help keep his 100% record under Paul Townend
Saldier
isn’’t as experienced as the rest of the field but his win at his first attempt
can be marked up as he was bothered by loose horses through the race. He is plenty talented enough to at least run
into a place

14:10 COUNTY HURDLE
The only reason these two selections aren’t the other way around
is that one of the stables aren’t firing on all cylinders at the moment…and it’s
not Willie Mullins! Sandsend won in a game
fashion last time out and could benefit from this stiffer course
A
Hare Breath reverted to hurdling after running in the Arkle at last year’s
festival and runs well fresh (he won a
listed hurdle in Dec after an 8 month break) and has won on soft ground

14:50 ALBERT BARTLETT NOVICES’ HURDLE
Santini won a Grade 2 here in January and has yet to be
beaten. He’s unexposed with plenty of
room to improve even further and his style of running will suit this big field
Chris’s Dream won a 3m hurdle at Clonmel in Feb as easy as
you like and won’t mind what the weather does.
With Henry De Bromhead back in the winners circle, he is one of my two
top picks
IF
THE GOING TURNS HEAVY then Fabulous Saga is one for an each way

15:30 GOLD CUP CHASE
Might Bite won the King George on soft and has won over this
stiffer 3 miles here in the past. He has
a scary (if you’re backing him!) habit of
idling about a furlong from home but Nico knows how him well enough to get him
home in front
Definitly
Red would appreciate more rain but even if its not forthcoming, he can run well
on soft. He won here in January, storming
up the hill in heavy ground and if his jumping holds up then he has a better
than good each way chance

16:10 FOXHUNTER CHALLENGE HUNTERS’ CHASE
Unioniste won his last two hunter chases more than easily and
is ridden by his owner David Maxell (2 wins from 3 when riding). He has won here on heavy in the past and came
4th in an RSA in 2013 so has plenty of class and experience
Volnay
De Thaix is having his first start for a new trainer after leaving Nicky Henderson’s
yard. He’ll be happy on the ground and should
be ok with this distance although not guaranteed (hence the price)

16:50 MARTIN PIPE CONDITIONAL JOCKEY’S HURDLE
Flawless Escape heads the market for trainer of the moment
Gordon Elliott and finished ahead of yesterday’s winner Delta Work last time
out so it all points to a huge run
Carter
McKay is partnered by Jamie Bargary who rode very well to finish 2nd
on Splash Of Ginge in the Festival Plate here yesterday. He is a bigger price
than I would have him down for moving into handicaps for the first time and
well worth an each way investment
